Seven Layer Dip Taco Bar
with baked sweet potato / tortilla chips

Active: 30 Total: 50

Seven Layer Dip will fit right in if you have plans to watch American football this weekend, but we added a baked sweet potato to make it feel like a more complete meal (sort of like a taco bar) if you just plan to serve it for dinner during the week.
Smarts: You can refrigerate the assembled seven layer dip for up to 2 hours before serving. Serve chilled.

Make

  1. Heat oven to 425F / 218C. Line a sheet pan with foil or brush with some oil.

  2. Rub sweet potato halves on all sides with some oil. Place potatoes cut-side down on the sheet pan. Season the tops with some salt. Transfer to the oven and roast until potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork, ~30 minutes.

  3. In a square baker, spread out the bean mixture in a thin layer. Add guacamole, spreading it out over the beans in a thin layer. Top with sour cream, carefully spreading it all the way to the edges (don’t worry if it mixes with the guacamole a bit).

  4. Top with cheese, olives, lettuce, and tomatoes.

  5. Divide the sweet potato halves between serving plates. Gently mash with a fork. Scoop seven layer dip onto roasted sweet potatoes. Serve with chips on the side for scooping. Enjoy!
